Maybe I should just get fitter. Or sell the Orbea and go back to my nice customisable Yose. The Orbea is lovely though.

Double darn! I’m hoping some of the guys who have made their own will see this. Sadly I think many don’t return here once their issue is sorted. I’d love to get my hands on one of Volabike’s batteries to dissect.

And I thought I was nearly there! I do know that the Orbea’s charge port was also designed to take a range extender battery and it had cables rated for 12a…certainly the cable from the controller/battery to the charging port is very chunky: if the thin cable to the right is the PAS sensor, and...

I think I have read every post in every forum about running a second battery in parallel, and I’ve asked a few questions on here too, but I’m about to order parts and I don’t want to get it wrong, so cold someone check over my plans for me? I was bought a second- hand Orbea Gain. (Yeah, I’m a...

I fitted a Yose rear hub kit to my road bike. Rode 12,800kms in a bit over a year over every mountain I could find, then the frame broke. My folks stumped up for an Orbea Gain, which I love, but has considerably less power, half the range and is harder to control the motor (I’m having to fiddle...

Hi Wheezy - I’m coming to this party late, but did you test out the ideal diode setup?

Surprise surprise - my Googling of shottky diodes has lead me back to the Pedelecs forum where this has already been discussed. Sorry Nealh. Normally I search here first. There’s even a How To. Brilliant forum this.

Thanks Nealh, much appreciated-but may I clarify a couple of things? 1. Will it be difficult to get batteries to within 0.02v if they are different ages? 2. If the Shottky’s prevent one battery discharging into the other, do the batteries need to be so closely aligned? Lastly, the battery guys...

So, I tried asking about how I could get a secondary battery to act with the internal battery of my second hand Orbea to work to extend the crappy range, and the guys at ebike batteries suggested two relays and a three way switch, 1, off, 2. Has anyone done this? It sounds supremely simple and...

I’ve been lucky enough to have been bought a second-hand Orbea ebike after my Halfords/Yose conversion kit ebike suffered a terminal frame fracture. I’m finding out that the Yose system is smoother, more powerful, needs less fiddling from the rider and has twice the battery capacity than the...

This was me going up 22km of 4%, I think the max was 10ish % but I don’t really remember. The climb is in the first third of the vid.

Yup, pas only for me, it worked really, really well. It never overheated. With it going full power and me up on the pedals we managed a short 25% section once, but like I said, long hills of 8-10% are the norm out here and my granny gear out back has 30teeth, so big but not a dinner plate. It...

Jordy I bought one of these 12,800kms ago last May. Does that say enough? If not, I live in Spain, and did an HC climb 16kms in length and I weigh 120kgs - not all fat - but I did have to give it all that I had physically. I am currently on 90,000m of climbing this year. You will fly up that...

Thanks for that Andy. A guy in my bike club suggested this but I was a bit doubtful…now I have looked - amazing stuff, epoxy! I’m hoping to get a replacement bike next week, so the e-conversion kit will go onto the wife’s hybrid and my old frame will become art, in some way. I greatly appreciate...

Is this the answer to the problem of the rear hub wheel not fitting centrally to the frame?? So no/less need to dish the wheel?

It’s a very sad day. My beloved 1997 Carrera Vanquish has a big crack in the frame, and knowledgeable TIG welders have said a fix is one of their trickiest tasks due to the required heat treatment/curing to make a strong weld. They have suggested it is time to retire the old girl. The problem...

Hi Tony. Yes, I was pointing out that the link Soundwave used to imply tens or hundreds of thousands have died due to the various vaccines being used actually stated that 1600 had died within 28 days of getting the vaccine. It also goes on to say that people die every day from all sorts of...

Hi folks! Lots of interesting stuff here! Can anyone give the actual number of deaths in the UK confirmed as caused by the various Covid vaccines? Or is it being hidden? All I could find was that just over 1,600 people have died within 28days of the jab, 72 of which were confirmed as being...

What a great thread, lots of knowledge on show here. I don’t have much of that, but I’m getting some experience… I fitted a 36v rear hub motor with a 12.5ah battery and a speed sensing (Lishui) controller to my road bike. I didn’t bother with a throttle. Set at level 2, assistance comes on when...
